I love everything about my 520 EXCEPT the wear and tear it puts on my pockets! I want to find inexpensive replacement scales for it but haven't had much luck in the search. I don't want to grind down the ridges although I did see a member's post here that showed very nice results. I understand that a Bone Collector's scales will fit but haven't been able to find any.
Any thoughts?
 
Replacement scales from BM if you want to pay the price or Custom scales.
File those ridges down and coat with a firearms finish like DuraCoat 2 from Brownells. They also have some other finishes you might like. I did one a year ago with the DuraCoate 2 and it came out very well. Good luck.
 
I know some people have put just a dab of JB weld in the ridges where the clip contacts the scales; apparently it works pretty well although it might detract from the looks a bit.
 
A little black tape on the scales where the clip meets, plus bending the clip a bit helps a lot too. Also, it's much less noticeable than the other options.

There's really no such thing as cheap custom scales. Though I guess that really depends what cheap is to you.
